Approval of SPDC Matching Funds Request from the Liberty Garden Committee in the amount of $50,000 and Park Dedication Funds not to exceed $40,000 for the development of a Liberty Garden in Bicentennial Park. Acting Director of Community Services Malcolm Jackson made a presentation to Council during the work session. This request is for Council approval of SPDC matching funds in the amount of $50,000 and park dedication funds not to exceed $40,000 for construction of a Liberty Garden in Bicentennial Park. Since Park Board approval of matching funds of $50,000 in October 2002, the committee and staff has reevaluated the original proposal at SPDC's request and refined the cost analysis with assistance from the consulting firm of Dunkin, Sims, Stoffels, Inc. The latest costs reflect some items for which quantities or unit prices were adjusted, a reduction in contingency costs for fixture items, and allowances for ADA accessibility. The result provides the most current representation of "actual costs" for the project, and, therefore, the most accurate assessment of the varying funding source obligations. Because the project was recommended by Park Board to be segregated into two phases, with the pavilion as the second phase, and because the amount of the Committee's match is dynamic and may exceed $50,000, staff recommends that any funds or donations received in excess of the requirement for Phase I be allocated to Phase II. Thus far, the Liberty Garden Committee has secured $32,900 ($22,900 in Phase I) through donations, contributions, and other cost reductions. The matching funds portion of this request was approved by SPDC subject to a dollar- for - dollar cash match at their March 4, 2003, meeting. 10B. Approval of a variance to Sign Ordinance No. 704 -A for Southlake Town Square located at 301 North Carroll Avenue.

The signs are non - business specific and are designed to guide traffic to the West Side District of Town Square.

Director of Public Works Pedram Farahnak made a presentation to Council during the work session. City Council approved these sanitary sewer and water projects as part of previous CIP budgets (FY1999 -00 through FY2002 -03) CIP. The projects include providing sanitary sewer service to residents of Garden Addition, Cedar Oaks Estates and Hillside Estates. This project will eliminate the Southlake Woods lift station and Fox Hollow lift station and provide water and fire protection to residents in Lakewood Ridge Addition and Indian Creek Addition. The project also includes construction of a reinforced concrete box culvert across Lonesome Dove Avenue at the intersection with Dove Road to provide drainage improvements and the relocation of a 400 horsepower pump from Pump CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES, MARCH 4, 2003, PAGE 4 OF 14 Station No. 2 to Pump Station No. 1.

Funds are available for the drainage improvements from FY 2002 -03 CIP and funds for the pump relocation are available from FY2000 -01 CIP.

Ordinance No. 480 -SS, 2nd Reading, An amendment to the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance No. 480, as amended, as it pertains to the creation of a Downtown Zoning District. Planning Director Bruce Payne presented this item to the Council. Southlake Town CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES, MARCH 4, 2003, PAGE 7 OF 14 Square has become recognized as a unique development due to its qualities as a true small town downtown. At the time of its inception, the City's Non - Residential Planned Unit Development standards (NR -PUD) were used as a base to tailor regulations to create this mixed -use development. Of late, valid concerns have been raised about the applicability of blanket NR- PUD regulations to Town Square. In particular, questions about the appropriateness of the Town Square land use mix elsewhere in the city are being raised. In addressing the above concerns and in recognizing the unique nature of Town Square, the Planning Department, under Council direction, is proposing the creation of a Downtown Zoning District. The City Council approved first reading on December 17, 2002. Changes from the last work session held on February 20, 2003, and discussions with the property owners have been incorporated into this plan. No one spoke during the public hearing.

Planning Director Bruce Payne presented this item to the Council. At the first reading of Ordinance 480 -SS at City Council on December 17, 2002, several concerns were raised about the elimination of the applicability of the Overlay District standards on all development in the Downtown District. The concerns stemmed from the lack of any specific design standards that reflected the character of existing development. In order to address the above concerns, staff is proposing a CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES, MARCH 4, 2003, PAGE 8 OF 14 set of Downtown District Design Guidelines based on the existing patterns of development. The guidelines are not intended to be regulatory but are intended to assist the decision making authorities in determining the extent to which proposed development meets the goals of the Downtown District. The proposed guidelines are not intended to be static, but will likely evolve to better address future development and market trends. The guidelines shall be adopted by City Council in conjunction with the Downtown Zoning District. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval on January 9, 2003. Public Hearing opened. Brian Stebbins of Cooper & Stebbins said he agrees with the district design guidelines. Public Hearing closed.

Ordinance No. 841, 2 Reading, Approval of Wholesale System Access Fees required by the contract for water service between the City of Southlake and the City of Fort Worth dated September 4, 2002. Public Works Director Pedram Farahnak presented this item to the Council. On August 6, 2002, the Southlake City Council authorized the Mayor to execute a contract for water service between the City of Fort Worth and the City of Southlake for wholesale purchase of water. Subsequently, the Fort Worth City Council authorized and executed the contract on September 4, 2002. Entering into this standard contract has put us in the position of having to pass along Fort Worth's system access fee to customers tying into the system. In accordance with section 16.1, "System Access Fees," Southlake agrees to pay Fort Worth a wholesale system access fee for each new or enlarged connection for water service made in Southlake's service area served by the general benefit facilities of the Fort Worth Water System. The wholesale system access fee to Southlake for each such connection shall be based upon the size of the water meter. Council approved Ordinance No. 841 on first reading on February 18, 2003.

Agenda Item No. 8A. Ordinance No. 480 -330a, 1 Reading (ZA03 -005), Rezoning and Site Plan for Lot 1, Block 1 and Lot 1, Block 2, Carroll I.S.D. No. 6 Addition. Senior Planner Dennis Killough presented this item to the Council. This property is located at the intersection of South Kimball and Silicon Drive. The purpose of this request is to add 2,020 additional seats, revise the parking regulations, allocate areas for portable toilets and change previously approved hours of operation. The review of this application is limited to those areas of change only. These changes are driven by the school district's contract with the Dallas Burn professional soccer team for use of Dragon Stadium. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended denial on February 20, 2003, for the following reasons: 1) parking shortage; 2) status of negotiation with adjacent property owners on parking, bus relocation and extra hour of operation; 3) lack of work with Department of Public Safety; 4) lack of light shielding; and, 5) lack of SPIN meeting. A super - majority vote in the affirmative by the City Council (at least 3 /4 of all members) is required to over -rule the P &Z's recommendation for denial of this request. A SPIN meeting was held on Monday, March 3, 2003. Dr. Gary Mathews, CISD School Superintendent, made a presentation to the Council and introduced CISD Board of Trustees President Robin Snyder and John Wagner of Hunt Sports Group. Mayor Stacy explained that Council cannot take action on this item tonight due to the fact that only five Councilmembers are present, and it requires a super- majority vote. Council has decided to continue this item to Friday, March 7, and hold a special meeting for its consideration. Ms. Snyder apologized to Council for not including the city in this process earlier. They were trying to be discrete in negotiating this contract and made an error in not bringing it to the city earlier. She thanked the Council for their willingness to meet on Friday night. Dr. Mathews expressed his willingness to work with the city on all future endeavors. John Wagner of Hunt Sports Group made a presentation to Council and answered Council's questions. He said Dallas Burn games will be on Saturdays during the summer with the exception of two Wednesday night games. David Taylor, Vice President of Operations for Dallas Burn, introduced himself to Council and said he is in charge of the overall fan experience of the Dallas Burn. Jack Skelton, Ace Parking, said they are the 4 largest parking company in the United States. They have worked with the Dallas Burn at Fair Park for five years. He made a presentation of their traffic plan. Mr. Taylor addressed Council's questions regarding vehicle routes. Letters will be sent out to the season ticket holders instructing them where to park and how to get there. He reviewed the routing of vehicles entering and exiting the stadium and said they will try to divide vehicles between FM 1709 and SH 26. CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES, MARCH 4, 2003, PAGE 11 OF 14 John Dorety addressed the Mayor's questions regarding parking on the Fickes /Dorety property. They think they will have parking on their property no matter what they do, and they are simply trying to control it. Mr. Skelton discussed traffic flow leaving the stadium. Mr. Wagner said he has met with Southlake DPS and will continue to refine the plan as needed. He is hoping to work on getting some closer parking spaces. He stressed the fact that they have a professional parking company working for them who has worked with them for years. He said they are charging $10 for parking. Mayor Stacy said the local resident who feels like they own this stadium will not be happy about having to pay $10 for parking. Dr. Mathews said their CFO is estimating the school system will gain between $200,000 — $500,000 per year from this contract. This money would provide for educational needs such as providing a rather significant reading initiative for students. Ms. Snyder said the revenue amount quoted is contingent upon the school district getting concessions, and that issue is still being negotiated. Mayor Stacy questioned why some of the money would not be used to pave the parking lot. Ms. Snyder indicated they do not have the money to pay for a parking lot right now. Councilmember Potter encouraged them to fix the parking problem down there for the long term. They need a solution that will eliminate people from having to go through the neighborhoods. Darrell Faglie, 505 South Kimball, Southlake, Texas. His property and his neighbors' properties are not in the Carroll school district so that is why the Board elected to take their neighborhood and destroy it. They have put two schools across the street from residences which required their street to be widened from two lanes to four lanes. Now the school district is going to use it for a commercial parking lot. He is opposed to this request and is opposed to anything additional at the stadium because the school district has not met their original requirements. He asked each of the Councilmembers to attend a Burn game before voting on this item. Ralph Williams, 1177 Adams Lane, Southlake, Texas. Said this is in improper use of our stadium based on the verbal assurances and representations made by the prior school board in getting the local property owners to support the stadium. None of them have contemplated having a professional sports team play in their backyard and having to deal with the accompanying issues. The existing parking provided by CISD is totally inadequate and insufficient to meet the requirements of soccer crowds exceeding 7,000 people. CISD is unwilling to make a financial commitment to develop additional parking for Dragon stadium. There will be off premise consumption of alcohol at these events, and trash will be an issue. The Carroll school board negotiated a bad deal, but that does not mean the city has to support it. He asked Council to turn down this request. Steve Lakin, 400 Donley Court, Southlake, Texas. Said he is speaking as a citizen and not as a school board member. They are trying to mitigate the parking and traffic and security issues. He CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES, MARCH 4, 2003, PAGE 12 OF 14 asked everyone to talk objectively about the benefits to the school district, the children, and the soccer fans. He said to not bring old issues or emotions into the discussion and stay objective. He said their number one objective is to educate the kids. He cannot change the fact that Dragon Stadium was built where it was built or how much the mortgage is on it. Taxpayers will receive the equivalent of a two cent tax reduction by having the Dallas Burn here. Council needs to remember it was not the current Board or the current Council who approved the 5:1 parking ratio, but they are trying to help fix it. They are trying to keep parking in this local area because they feel it is best for the community and for the fans to keep the parking close. Mr. Wagner said if the benchmark is to have the school district put in 375 paved parking spaces, then he cannot in good conscience continue this request. He is not asking the school district to mortgage something that they were not intending on doing to make this deal work; he understood that they had to meet the 5:1 parking ratio. Darla Reed, CISD Board of Trustees member, said there is a benefit to the community. With this additional revenue, they can hire one to three reading teachers that can help children who cannot read. Councilmember Potter said he is not asking them to put pavement on the ground today, but he is asking them to put pavement down in the next few years. He said John Wagner has the ability to help the school district with this parking lot right now. Mayor Stacy said it seems to him that if the school district is interested in looking at the stadium as a revenue source, they would more interested in spending the additional dollars to get permanent seating and more parking, then they could have more events like this. Councilmember Shankland said the exposure to Southlake is immeasurable, and he hopes the parking issue can be worked out. He said the publicity alone will be tremendous. Darrell Faglie said he does not want offsite parking across from residential where they have to run a shuttle back and forth; that would be very disturbing. He asked for the school district to address the lighting. He said a school board member said as the last SPIN meeting that sometimes a few have to suffer for the good of many, and he is tired of suffering. Ralph Williams suggested they go to Trammell Crow who has 25 acres across the street and work with them on parking. Lou Caposta, 2311 Crooked Lane, Southlake, Texas. Said they need to cut out the football program altogether, and they would save a lot of money. Jerry Marin, 200 Ginger Court, Southlake, Texas. Said he is ashamed of what he has experienced here tonight, especially from the Mayor. What he saw here tonight is petty, small town politics. Jeff Wang, 595 South Kimball Avenue, Southlake, Texas. He asked Council to review the minutes from the February 3, 2000, P &Z meeting and the February 15 and March 7, 2000, Council meetings regarding this stadium issue. Mayor Pro Tem Evans said they need more parking, and they need to nail down exactly where the people will park. He would like to see a long -range plan for permanent parking. CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES, MARCH 4, 2003, PAGE 13 OF 14 Lowell Morrison said Dr. Gillum promised Mr. Caposta that they would pay for fencing around his property and asked the district to pay for that now. Councilmember Morris said she wants to work with the district. She thinks the Burn will be good Southlake residents, but she would like to see the parking ratio down where it needs to be. She is willing to look at some short term, off -site parking and a 4:1 ratio in order to give the school district this much needed revenue. Mr. Wagner and the school district agreed to work on the issues before they return at the next meeting.

We feel we are due a review at the next 2025 Steering Committee Meeting. We have recently been informed that our property was rezoned to low density and was changed to this the last time the PLZ made changes in 1997. We were not informed of the change in writing to our knowledge. There may have been some communication that we failed to see. Reasons why we believe our property should be redefined as medium density: 1. To the north of our property there is a planned 5 -lane road (D ove Road in future) unneeded at present time due to low traffic. 2. There is a planned municipal complex just to the northwest of our homes, about 1/3 mile. 3. There is an electrical sub station and huge electrical transmission line on the north end of our property, which may have already lowered the value of our property. 4. The property to the south of our property about 2/5 mile is zoned commercial as well as the property just 100 yards to the east of our property. That property is under grandfather clause? If our property remains zoned low density, then the erosion of our property value will continue. No one can afford to buy our acreage and develop with that few homes. 5. The property is located in the middle of the L13/R13 flight zone, an additional degrading of our property. 7 6. The city sewer line is within 2/5 mile from the corner of our property running down North Carroll Ave, yet we do not have access to city sewer services. The cost to the city may easily be recouped by development on this property. 7. There appears to be two medium density additions located to the north of Hwy 114. Kirkwood Hollow and Lonesome Dove Estates. Also, as near as I can tell by looking at additional additions in Southlake, there are some 15+ additions south of Hwy 114 where the homes are on less than one -acre lots. Those include: Meyers Meadow Versailles Southridge Lakes Oak Tree Estates The addition just east of the High School Fox Borough Stone Lake Dominion Timber Lake Monticello Timarron Wilmington Lake Crest Princeton Park 8. These additions are the most beautiful ones in Southlake with well kept yards, sewer, storm drains, sidewalks, curbing and appealing in appearance. 9. Take a look at other areas that are one acre. For example, Emerald Estates, Cross Timber Hills, Quail Run, Quail Hollow, the Pulte Addition on Carroll Avenue, and others. The roads are of poor quality, the . lots are not well manicured and unsightly- -not the homes, but the general appearance and upkeep of the larger lot sizes. Highland Park in Dallas is usually considered a very exclusive area and the houses are certainly NOT on one -acre lots. Many are probably not more than one -third acre. 10. Smaller lot sizes would also bring more revenue to the city, which we seem to so desperately need. 11. Are property owners north of Hwy 114 of lesser value to the city than those who own property in the south of the city? We seem to pay the same exorbitant taxes! 12. It is increasingly apparent that the change from medium density has further eroded our land value by as much as $10,000 per acre. Please consider the above premises, do what is right, just and fair, and change our properties back to medium density as it was prior to 1997 change.
